Welcome back to reading mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Kirk is taking a break after quite a few long days (and weeks) of work. Cathy has a short Saturday post.
Again, I'm writing about restaurants inside of stores, a fascinating phenomenon. I have written about Ikea only three other times and find it a convenient place to stop for a quick bite as well as to meet up (everyone knows where the IKEA store is; there are just too many Starbucks locations to find a mutually agreed location).
The traditional 8 meatball plate ($4.99) comes with lingonberry sauce, vegetable of the day and a starch (in this case, macaroni and cheese- a good version, although the mashed potatoes are also quite good). There is coffee, lingonberry juice and a dessert on this tray. Priorities.
Usually, I grab the gravad lox (salmon cured with sugar, salt and dill) plate ($5.99) from the chilled area- it comes with a dill mustard sauce and some lettuce-enough for use on the salad, although the condiment area has ranch dressing available.
The dessert, a Princess cake ($1.50)-a soft cookie/solid cake piece on the bottom, topped with raspberry sauce, a solid whipped cream (still partly frozen so a sort of ice cream) wrapped in chocolate topped marzipan is just enough for a meal.
IKEA Restaurant; there's one in every store. website
I really like their meatball plates. Haven’t tried Princess cake before..Now I have a reason to go back.
everything looks good!
The meatball plate used to have 15 meatballs and the price was increasing. I’m so happy to see the more reasonable size as well as price available, cc. The central location and cafeteria style make it an ideal place to meet up for a coffee and dessert if you don’t want a meal.
It’s all good, Kat. A lot of the food is pre-prepared and frozen, which helps with consistency and quality level. European style eating is fun and different.
